Mountain America Wealth Management's Chad Waddoups Recognized as a Top 20 Program Manager by Bank Investment Consultant

Mountain America Wealth Management’s Chad Waddoups was selected for the 2019 Top 20 Program Managers list by Bank Investment Consultant, a leading financial services industry magazine. Waddoups has served as the vice president of wealth management for Mountain America Wealth Management and program manager for LPL Financial Services, Inc. for the past ten years.
 
Mountain America contracts with LPL Financial Services, Inc., the largest independent broker-dealer, to offer investment services.
 
The Top 20 Program Managers list recognizes successful bank and credit union program managers based on several key areas, including team assets, growth of the institution’s investment business, and the number of advisors and licensed branch employees supervised. 
 
“Mountain America Wealth Management offers personalized retirement planning that allows credit union members to work towards their individual goals and ultimately look forward to retirement,” says Nathan Anderson, chief operating officer and executive vice president at Mountain America Credit Union. “Being recognized as one of the top program managers in the country is a testament to the outstanding work our wealth management team is doing each day as they help our members pursue their financial dreams.”
 
“This recognition speaks volumes to the commitment of our entire team. The skill and experience of our advisors, coupled with their desire to see the credit union members achieve personal financial success, is a huge driver,” says Waddoups. “I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and dedication.”
 
The full BIC Top 20 Program Managers list can be found online at BankInvestmentConsultant.com. To compile the list of Top 20 Program Managers, Bank Investment Consultants (BIC) ranked program managers based on several criteria, including the number of advisors they oversee, team assets under management, percentage growth in team production, and production per advisor. BIC uses variables that account for size, as well as metrics that capture growth and efficiency to well-rounded professionals, as opposed to those who excel in one area but fall short in others.
